Hillary Clinton: ‘Sexism’ in 2008 Obama campaign

In her new memoir, “Hard Choices,” Clinton wrote that she rejected a request from the Obama campaign to attack Sarah Palin, who was then
running for vice president.

“That very first day, the Obama campaign said, ‘Well, we want you to go out there and criticize her,’ and I said ‘For what? For being a woman?
No, let’s wait until we know where she stands, I don’t know anything about her. Do you know anything about her?’” Clinton said she told the
Obama campaign.

I know how much ATS hates Palin, but this new revelation, comes as no surprise to me, both sides of the political spectrum hated her.

Not sure Hillary is being honest either.

Hillary is just posturing herself and distancing herself from the Obama administration in order to be more appealing to the public when her turn
comes. It is a tactic used by all presidential possible candidates at some point in their careers. She could be baiting Palin to run again knowing
that Palin would lose against her if they were the two top female candidates in the running.

Sadly, yes she probably will be. And it will be similar to the way Obama was elected...except she will also pull the female vote because she is,
arguably, a female. Though I could see this tactic backfiring on her with her support being fully behind Obama for so long AND being another
dem.....I think the country is ready for a change, though not sure if it is going to sway toward Republican or another party. I can only hope another
dem doesn't take office.....

Not only that but it doesn't cost her (or anyone on the left) anything. Obama isn't going anywhere until 16 so it isn't really going to hurt him
politically. He'll still do as he pleases. All it will do is possibly make the more gullible liberals think Hillary is different (which she isn't).
